Recently formed not-for-profit South Logan Arts Coalition (SLAC) places local artists who need work space in rent-free vacant storefronts that have been donated by local landlords. The artist gets a place to work and the neighborhood has a vacant storefront replaced with a hive of activity.

SLAC’s first fundraiser, Cut Me Some SLAC: A Fundraiser for the South Logan Arts Coalition, will be held at Parson’s Chicken & Fish on Saturday, March 23.

Parson’s Chicken & Fish (2952 W. Armitage Ave.) is a new restaurant from the Land and Sea Dept., the team behind Longman & Eagle (@longmanandeagle, 2657 N. Kedzie Ave.), Beauty Bar and Empty Bottle Presents. Parson’s won’t open until April, so this is an opportunity to get a preview of the location.

The event will run from 7 pm to 10 pm. Tickets are $15 and are available online and at the door. The event is presented by Land and Sea Dept., in conjunction with 35th Ward Alderman Rey Colón, Goose Island and I Am Logan Square (@iamlogansquare). The funds raised will go toward insurance and utilities for the donated storefronts.
